The New York Giants will be without NFC offensive player of the week Hakeem Nicks for today's game against the Carolina Panthers (1-1).
Nicks, a wide receiver, has a foot injury, adding to the list of absentees when the Super Bowl-champion Giants (1-1) play their first road game of the season.
New York made the announcement Wednesday afternoon after already labelling running back Ahmad Bradshaw, offensive tackle David Diehl and another receiver, Domenik Hixon, out.
Nicks did not practice this week after aggravating a foot injury late in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a game in which he had 10 catches for 199 yards and a touchdown.
There didn't seem to be much concern over his lack of practise because he hasn't practiced much since sitting out almost all of training camp while recovering from a broken foot suffered in May.
